    Why doe so many chat programs avoid doing this? It's incredibly helpful! Finally Slack created that a couple of years ago. It's like the first thing to do, why is it so hard to see the usefulness?

    I loved using this feature in slack to test various features out without having to send out messages to people.

    Need this feature badly to try out - esp to try out the emojis, stickers and giphy before sending them.
    Also i would like to see the reminder option similar to slack.
    Microsoft please catch up with slack soon or you are ....

    I really miss this feature. It was a super fast way to send myself a note about something, because I tend to have access to teams/slack from all my devices.

    Slack lets users quickly send a chat to themselves as a way to take notes or save important things. This would be crazy useful.

    We've recently moved from Slack to Teams. I really miss this feature. It was a super fast way to send myself a note about something, because I tend to have access to teams/slack from all my devices.

    Talking to yourself is a natural thing in real life, why not in Teams? I send text to myself to remind me of things, I send emails to myself to add to my todo list... Teams would be a perfect place to talk to myself for other items.

    Why does no one use OneNote instead? Isn't this more or less the same feature? I can access My Onenote from Teams.

    I really like this in Slack. When a colleague is on holiday for instance, I don't want to send messages directly, but I also don't want to forget. So I send them to myself.

    Yes please make this available. In Slack, I regularly use this featureto:

    - Check how a message looks before I send to bigger group
    - A place to save some quick notes/reminders for myself

    In Telegram, this feature is aptly named "Saved Messages"

    Thanks!
